A new model of the gel time measurement device has arrived! It is now possible to measure gel time while keeping materials like glass fiber prepreg and carbon fiber prepreg in sheet form.

It has become possible to measure gel time with sheets such as glass fiber prepreg and carbon fiber prepreg.

Until now, it has been difficult to measure extremely thin prepreg sheets and carbon fiber prepreg sheets, but it is now possible to measure gel time while keeping them in sheet form. Measurement of liquids and powders is also possible. - Direct measurement of sheet-like materials eliminates the need for powdering PCB prepregs. Direct measurement of PCB prepregs, carbon prepregs, etc. is possible. Measurement of RCC (resin-coated copper foil) is also possible. - Measurement from thin to thick materials with a single sheet. Supports from 10um ultra-thin prepregs to thick non-woven fabrics. - Measurement of powder and liquid samples that was difficult with the stirring torque method. Broad compatibility with samples containing highly filled fillers, anaerobic samples, gel-like samples, etc. - Visualization of curing behavior in graphs. Calculates and graphs viscosity, phase difference, shear modulus, etc. from the measured stress. - Measurement of the viscoelasticity of fluids. Rheological measurement of non-Newtonian fluids such as samples that do not cure. - Confirmation of stress, viscosity, and phase data is possible.

Automatic measurement of gel time for thermosetting resins! Curing behavior of the resin can also be confirmed. *Demo applications are currently being accepted / Online demos are also being conducted.

Manual measurements often vary in methods and criteria depending on the measurer, leading to significant measurement errors. "Madoka" can obtain high-precision and stable data regardless of the measurer's skill. 【Measurement of Various Resins Possible】 Epoxy, silicone, urethane, PVC, unsaturated polyester, phenol, prepreg, EMC, encapsulants, sealing materials, adhesives, inks, etc. 【For Those Facing Such Issues】 ◆ Want to eliminate "ambiguous" judgment criteria based on human perception ◇ Want to standardize measurement criteria between factories and streamline quality control operations ◆ Want to manage measurement result databases and conduct data analysis collectively ◇ Want to automatically output measurement data to a server 【Features】 ■ Heating plate temperature rise: Measurement starts just 5 minutes after power is turned on ■ Can be set from room temperature to high temperatures up to 300℃ ■ Measurement results are graphed as torque curves to confirm curing behavior Download the catalog here▼ https://www.matsuo-sangyo.co.jp/catalogs/ For product details here▼ https://www.matsuo-sangyo.co.jp/products/madoka/

It is possible to measure the thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, and interfacial thermal resistance of TIMs in thin films of less than 50μm in conditions close to actual products.

The measurement samples (gel-like liquids, sheets, solids) are measured between two metal test heads with known thermal conductivity (aluminum or copper) in the shape of a cylinder or rectangular prism. The temperature gradient ΔT and heat flow Q in the sample are measured, and the effective thermal resistance Rtheff is determined. By applying pressure and changing the thickness of the sample while repeating the measurements, the thermal conductivity (W/m·K), thermal resistivity (mm²·K/W), and interfacial thermal resistivity (mm²·K/W) of the sample can be calculated using the formulas and graphs below. TIMA5 is a groundbreaking device that can control the sample thickness (gap), pressure, or sample temperature for measurements.

Are you making progress on measures for the "2024 Problem"? With stricter management of drivers' working hours, reducing "waiting time" has become an urgent issue in the logistics field. To address this challenge, our company, Hotron, proposes the "Vehicle Detection Ultrasonic Sensor 'HM-UX2'," which instantly grasps the availability of loading bays. The 'HM-UX2' contributes to the resolution of waiting times by accurately understanding the availability situation, reducing unnecessary waiting and queueing, and shortening waiting times to alleviate the burden on drivers! By replacing the "eyes" of your loading bay management with this high-precision sensor, why not start addressing the "2024 Problem"? Take a look at the product features: "Can it accurately detect availability?" "Can we really use it in our company?" "I just want to know the cost, even if it's an estimate." If you have any questions or requests, please feel free to consult with us.
